@Kay-Pee Half Blood Prince is my favorite book even better than the movie. Unfortunately the movie left out the majority of Voldemorts backstory and all the memories Dumbledore showed Harry of Voldemort/young Tom Riddle.
I saw an explanation once for why Hermione suddenly isn't doing as well in potions class that really makes sense: When Snape was teaching, he always put the instructions for the potion they were making on the board, and it stands to reason that he would include his modifications for each potion in the instructions. Slughorn on the other hand had them read the instructions out of the book which by the number of corrections Snape had made, really wasn't very good. Hermione was very good at following instructions so her skills in potions went down with the quality of the instructions.
Voldemort was furious after losing the prophecy and blamed Lucius for the failure since he was in charge. Draco wasn't given a mission, it was a death sentence, he was supposed to be killed in the process as punishment for his father's failure. It would've torn Lucius apart knowing he was the cause of his son's death and Narcissa would have gone mad.
Exactly. Voldemort didn’t expect Draco to succeed. He gave the boy the task as punishment for his father’s failures. Believing that Draco would fail, Voldemort told Snape of the plan with the understanding that Snape would do it after Draco tried & was unsuccessful.
Man, when I read Dumbledore's death, I SOBBED. I've never cried like that from a book. And Tom Felton did an excellent job making Draco sympathetic in this one. He's a little shit, yes, but when it comes down to it, he's a scared child in a terrible situation. And that's heartbreaking.
For real. I cried so hard when I first read it that I accidentally dropped my book off the edge of my top-bunk bed and was pissed I had to climb down and get it so I could finish the book, cuz no way was I not finishing the whole thing that night after that.
@@bethanybarden1953 I called my mom sobbing so hard I couldn't form words, so she thought it was somethibg serious, and when I finally bleated out "She killed Dumbledore!" Mom chewed me out for scaring her 🤣
@@salvadormartinez8577 Defintetly the last few movies visually were the most dark, gloomy and bleak, giving the sense of drama, despair and dread. A striking contrast from the bright, colorful and vibrancy of the first few movies, giving childish wonders and optimism...

This is Draco's film. He goes through a redemption arc that is truly breathtaking. He starts off in a rage, his world turned upside down and blaming Dumbledore and especially Harry for his father being thrown in Azkaban and his family losing all social and political position due to scandal. Voldemort recruits Draco, makes him a Death Eater, and gives him a couple of terrible tasks meant to either cause the Wizarding World to kill him (if he succeeds) or (if he fails) to give Voldemort the excuse to kill Draco, inflicting retribution on Lucius. Why the Potters? Simple. Harry's the one that is destined to stop Voldemort. Harry's parents just got in his way. And Dumbledore has been making preparations since Harry's parents died to do what is necessary to stop Voldemort. This has been a long piece of spellcraft meant to save the world. He has been monitoring and sorting out the info to put things into the best position to succeed at stopping Voldemort. It's a thankless job, but someone has to step up and get it done; Dumbledore does that. The shop that's destroyed in Diagon Alley is Ollivander's Wand shop, and the hooded figure they grab and take with them is Ollivander himself. Voldemort has moved HQ from the old Riddle mansion to Malfoy Manor; he is FURIOUS with Lucius's screwups and has taken over his ancestral home to use as his new base of operations. Lucius is currently in Azkaban, so Voldemort is unable to hurt him currently, so he's now living in the Malfoy home and setting up Draco to corrupt him and give him an excuse to kill him. Meanwhile, Voldemort is OBSESSED with killing Harry himself by the same Killing Curse that bounced off him previously. Voldemort doesn't know enough wandlore to work out how this is done, so he has kidnapped Ollivander and imprisoned him in the Malfoy Manor cellar. He's torturing Ollivander to get wandlore info to use against Harry. Yes; the Weasley Twins were apparating in and disapparating from places, because as adults they now could. What dripped on Harry's forehead is a plant resin (found in our real world) called 'dragon's blood'. In liquid form, it does look like blood, but it can be identified by taste. It's safe to consume and was used for centuries to preserve wine on ocean voyages and shipping around the Mediterranean. Its magical uses in incense and potions are to boost the magical properties of the mixtures and/or to provide luck and/or protection. The Chocolate Frog trading cards do mention that Dumbledore discovered all 12 magical uses of dragon's blood. Draco (Tom Felton) is only 5'--9" Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is 5'-5" Draco was a prick the last 6 years because he was under his father' influence. Worse yet, Lucius's disdain for others included Draco, who could never seem to please or satisfy Lucius. Draci idolized his distanced father, becoming his mini-me to get his approval. But Draco has been isolated all year because of the nefarious tasks Voldemort gave him. Draco had no one to advise or guide him. He couldn't go to the faculty, nor trust his friends. He just had to sort this out for himself. And he found himself hurting and almost killing innocent people, folks he knew. He's deep in regret and guilt and he's lost. Draco in white shirtsleeves is the most white I've ever seen on him; there's a metaphor there about how he could take off the darkness and find light underneath. This 'evil' his father flounces around as power is costuming for Draco in his attempt to please his father; Draco is at heart better than that, and he's coming to that realization. Harry is usually so insightful and perceptive; he sees more in the environments he enters than others do. His focus on punishing Draco is so unlike him. I always wonder what would have happened if Harry had responded to Draco crying by the sink, if he had asked Draco why he was crying. If Snape had not followed the two into the bathroom, Draco would have died. He would have bled to death. ______________________________________________ Basic Horcrux Math: 1 murder = 2 pieces of soul. 1 piece is retained in the original body (to remain alive in corporeal form) 1 piece is put into an object to make a horcrux. 2 murders = 3 pieces; retain 1, make 2 horcruxes. 6 murders = 7 pieces, retain 1, make 6 horcruxes.

Darling lad. That's a proper Mum hug. I'm 70 and all my boys get the same hug and holding the face. I need to have a good look at them. So I can see in their eyes what's happening. LOL ... Newish subscriber here. Love your reactions, it's almost like having my boys home again .
Sirius had 3 female *cousins* who's maiden names were Black. They were sisters. Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix LeStrange and Andromeda Tonks. Andromeda was cast out of the family for marrying a muggleborn wizard. Draco and Nymphadora Tonks are 1st cousins. Bellatrix not only killed her cousin Sirius at the Ministry fight. She tried to kill her niece "Tonks"as well. We got a lot more memories about Voldemort in the book. I wish they hadn't cut them out of the movie.
Bonnie Wright was really disappointed, she was expecting to play this sporty, fun, kind, cool girl but in the script she's mostly timid and awkward. I say mostly. She has okay moments but she never gets to glow, not to mention shine.
@@flugsven Ya the movies really fucked up their portrayal of Ginny and I don't blame Bonnie for being disappointed. So much potential for a character wasted.
Oh yeah, book Ginny could absolutely wipe the floor with Hermione. She was POWERFUL. I mean they were best friends and would never fight, but Hermione knows if they ever did she'd absolutely get wrecked by Ginny. Even the fearless twins were terrified of Ginny lol.
Why Harry isn’t explained in the films. The prophecy in OotP should have explained - it said that the one with the power to defeat him would be born at the end of July to parents who have thwarted him three times and Voldemort will mark him as his equal and neither can live while the other survives. It is explained then that Lily and James had thwarted him as members of the order three times. HOWEVER, so had Neville’s parents and he was also born at the end of July. So Neville could have been the chosen one… But, Voldemort saw the similarities in Harry as a half-blood rather than thinking that it would be a pure-blood like Neville (even though his beliefs and that of his followers think pure bloods are more powerful)…so Voldemort, by attacking Harry and Lily putting herself between them, saved Harry, but the result of the curse that should have killed Harry “marked him”…so Voldemort made Harry the chosen one, not Neville… Hope that explains! 🙂
That date in the beginning with the muggle girl at the underground diner didn’t exist in the books. Harry definitely wasn’t randomly walking around London. He was picked up by Dumbledore from the Dursleys and the whole scene was chaotic with the Dursleys very afraid of Dumbledore.
To add to this: On the contrary, rather than being active and wandering around, Harry spent most of his two weeks at the Dursley's in his room, in a numb and near-catatonic state, refusing most food.
We actually love it when fresh Potterheads get affected by these scenes and storyline. Love your reactions man! Keep it up. You need to see this through..
19:13 Ron and Ginny's Quidditch Career actually started in the 5th Book, Both won the Quidditch cup for Gryffindor the same year, Ron was still Keeper and Ginny played as a back up Seeker and Chaser. She caught the snitch and won each game she played Seeker but Quidditch was cut for the Order of Phoenix movie.
As for your starting question: Voldemort was never after James and Lily. His target was Harry, based on the prophecy they obtained in the last film that basically said "a boy born at the end of July is going to be your downfall, because he has something you don't, and one of you has to take the other out." Based on that, he went after Harry to murder his prophesied advesary as a baby. It's all explained in OotP, but it's kind of squashed between action scenes and losing Sirius, so you're not the only reactor who gets a bit muddled on that.
Really enjoyed your reaction👍! Sorry for all the pain… The last two films are excellent, you have to watch them! It ain’t over till it’s over…. Rollus tapus👍🌷🧙🏾♂️!!!
Everyone feels like this, after this episode. You DO want to watch the rest... everyone here did, and we all come back for good reason. RIP Dumbledore.
This is my favorite movie of the series ❤ it's so different from the rest. The green hues throughout, overall ominous tone, but also some of the best laughs of the series too. I love storytelling and emotion over action, so this one is perfect to me.
Wands up.🪄 On September 27th, 2024, our beloved professor in film and in real life has passed through the veil. She will be sorely missed and forever remembered. Thank you, Dame Maggie Smith, for all the decades you have blessed us by taking us on a fantastic magical ride called the cinema. My sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and to all who knew her and loved her well. 🖤🕯🖤
You're correct about Fred and George's apparitions in previous movies. In order to apparate, you must be of age (17), and you must first pass a very stringent test or you risk being splinched, leaving parts of yourself behind.
Hagrid uses an umbrella because he's not allowed to use a wand (Wizards hate non human people, Hagrid is a half giant and got expelled from hogwarts) it's totally bullshit especially since Hagrid got vindication after the second movie
Not relevant but cool for the next film, Luna and Draco are also first cousins. Her father was expelled from the Malfoy family for his open beliefs and hippie style. Technically, she is still from a pure blood family, but they're open-minded, like the Weasleys.❤
you should drink some water and eat a good warm meal and prepare for the final two films. do the same when you read the books. i wish the movies played up to how horrible fenrir greyback is because he is LITERALLY terrifying. bring some comfort food, tea, tissues, and a warm throw or blanket for the final two as well.
My biggest issue with the movie was how they cut out so much due to time constraints (understandable, since you can't put the entire book into a 1.5 hour film), but then added the burning of the burrow, an entire scene that wasn't in the book. Which means they had to cut even more to fit that in.
*Professor Dumbledore's death was one of the most traumatic for Harry to witness. Right alongside his parents' murder at the hands of Voldemort when he was 15 months old, Cedric Diggory at the ratty (pun fully intended) hands of Wormtail during the last task of the Triwizard Tournament in that graveyard, and Sirius dying at the hands of his psychotic cousin Bellatrix Lestrange before he disappeared into the Veil in the Ministry Of Magic. Also, this is one of the few times Ron is shown to be intelligent in the movies. The scene on the Hogwarts Express where he's explaining the Unbreakable Vow to Harry, specifically. The wizard's chess scenes from Philosopher's Stone is another. I think another good example is the good questions he was asking in Chamber Of Secrets when Harry found that crumpled up book page in Hermione's hand.*
The Harry-Ginny storyline is much better in the books (no "shoelace" for one)! Harry got his share of awkwardness though when he went on that date with Cho which was cut from the movie (the second-hand embarrassment may kill you 🫣)
I hate that bs at the Burrow. Not only the Ministry but the Order had layers and layers of protective spells on the Weasley home while Harry was there. No one was even able to be just popping in to say hello without an escort let alone destroy the place.
Yeah no shoelace and no random girl at the beginning. It’s like he was into a random chic at the station, goes to burrow, sees Ginny and suddenly has feelings for her. Makes his feelings seem abrupt and invalid because we just liked another girl hours before 😪
The reason Professor Snape called himself The Half Blood Prince is because his mother, who was a witch, had the maiden name of "Prince". He loved his mother and was proud of her. But his muggle father was very abusive. Snape hated his father so much that he liked referring to himself as the Half Blood Prince rather than the name of his father's last name of "Snape" during his years as a student in Hogwarts. The ironic thing about Harry is that he always had a hard time learning potions from Professor Snape. But the moment Harry found Snape's old textbook with all of Snape's handwritten notes and didn't realize that it had belonged to Snape, Harry suddenly began to excel in potions. 📖⚗️🧪🪄
The main reason Harry had such a hard time under Snape's teaching was that Snape was so hard on him. If Snape had treated him as a normal student, he would have done much better. Harry's DADA grades suffered in this book with Snape teaching that class.
@marshallpeters7174. I’ve read the books several times over the years & I don’t remember anything about Harry’s DADA grades suffering with Snape teaching the class. Would you please tell me the chapter or chapters where this is mentioned?
Yeh I assume I'll always remember the feeling of reading this book when it came out. When you're watching it you can just zone out and let it wash over you, stewing in your feelings. When you're reading the book you stop when you see it, so you're just left in a void in your room not knowing anything else, and after a minute or two you have to force yourself to keep reading. The movie it just happens past you and you're already somewhere else. When you're reading it you have to actively be in the moment and do the act of dragging your eyes across it. It always sticks out in my memory, the feeling of having to force my eyes across more of that text. If you stop paying attention to the movie it keeps happening and you can like hear it from a mile away and process it in your own time; if you stop reading the book you're just stuck in that eternal moment until you submit yourself to more of it to finish the story. It was a real exercise in will power in my youth, to finish reading that book
There was a glimpse of a real life hero in this movie. Rob Knox, the actor who played Marcus Belby, the kid digging enthusiastically into his dessert at Slughorn’s supper party, was kiIIed while protecting his younger brother from a man with a knife. It happened outside a London pub in 2008 shortly after he filmed his scene.
Imagine going to the midnight release of the book, and someone drove by the line waiting and screamed: "DUMBLEDORE DIES AT THE END" I knew it was coming and still cried reading and watching it
Okay so you asked why Harry? That whole prophecy in the last film was why - in the books it’s explained so I’ll try to clarify a bit. The entirety of the prophecy is as follows: “the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.. born to those who have thrice defied him.. born as the 7th month dies.. and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal but will have power the Dark Lord knows not.. and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.” When Dumbledore explains this to Harry, he explains also that HE is the one who the prophecy was spoken to, and it was done by Professor Trelawney during her job interview, when a death eater spy was caught having only listened to the first half of the prophecy. He gave Voldemort the incomplete prophecy, and Voldemort chose Harry to be the one, when it could have actually been Neville as well. He chose the half blood like him, rather than the pure blood 👀
23:04 I chucked hearing you say, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” because you’ve been making a list of characters to take out… Lucius Malfoy, Delores Umbridge, etc…and it made me think of Arya.
This book & movie wrecked me. Also in the books Ginny is super badass & outgoing & the most popular girl at school & so that doesn’t really translate well on screen with this actress & idk if it’s because of how they wrote her or if she’s just a bad actress or what lmao but seriously Snape’s betrayal killed us all. Please please please watch the rest of the movies I promise you it’s worth it!! & with the unbreakable vow you automatically die if you break the promise. Voldemort asked Draco to kill Dumbledore as a punishment to Lucius & the Malfoy family for their failures of dropping the prophecy in the 5th one & because he knew Draco wouldn’t be able to do it & if he did do it, it would scar him for life & therefore would be heartbreaking for his parents to know their son lost his innocence so it’s an impossible situation either Draco dies or becomes a murderer which is why Draco’s mum went to Snape to ask for help. Also your observations of Slughorn were spot on I haven’t heard a reactor mention that at all about Slughorn the first time they watch the doctored memory he is very vain & even though he’s not an evil wizard he likes to be seen & associated with people of status & is easily subjected to flattery which is how Tom was able to worm his way into gaining his trust to disclose the Horcrux info.
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1po oh interesting! Why do you think that? I didn’t get that vibe from her at all cuz she stood up for Luna when ppl would bully her & wouldn’t let anyone push her around like Ron tried to without her having a go at him lol but I’m curious why you think that?
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1podo you mean Cho? Haha Cho would just cry on their dates, only talk about Cedric and then get extremely overly jealous of Hermione when he clearly told her they’re friends. And she got defensive and argued with Harry when her friend was the one who purposely snitched on the DA. They made movie Cho look good and movie Ginny look crap when it should be the other way around lol
If you split your soul in 7 then there are 6 horcruxes plus the piece retained in Voldemort's body. In the books Harry slowly becomes attracted to Ginny throughout the years whereas in this film it comes out of nowhere. Also remember that Emma Watson is really too beautiful to play Hermione and the screen writer was trying to make it that Harry and Hermione were a good fit. Although this was JKR's original intention, she changed it and you nailed it as 'Ginny: the triple threat!'
@@angelalopez5942 how did I ruin it when Tom literally said it in this movie? lol he asked the professor if you could split your soul into 7 pieces/horcruxes
@@ВиталийГетманов-с6с A horcrux can only be made from a murder, in which he would have to kill someone to get a horcrux. If you include him, that means he killed himself to make a horcrux, which wouldn't make sense
everyone is in shock when this book / movie come out. however, do not lost hope. keep watching & you will be in a pleasant surprise but be prepared for bucket of tears
Bro I was kinda stressed just now and wanted to listen to a YT vid while I get stuff done. Then I see u posted this today. … havnt even started the video and I feel better. Your reactions are so great
It's up to you if you wanna watch anymore, of course, but remember; it's a fairytale, and whether they end sad or on a happy note, they are most often beautiful, and that's what makes it worthwhile. We need art and beauty in our lives. But maybe really check out something cheerful next? In between? (Or at least something uplifting?) Maybe a Mel Brooks movie? Or the Naked Gun movies? Or a Peter Sellers comedy? A shot in the dark? The return of the Pink Panther? The revenge of the Pink Panther? Maybe the Back to the future movies? All classics that keeps you giggling.
The creepy guy that attacks the Weasley's with Bellatrix is Ferir Greyback. He is a werewolf that fully embraces that vicious side of him. He attacked Lupin as a kid and turned him into a werewolf as revenge because he didn't like some things Lupin's dad said about werewolves in the newspaper.
In the movie, Unbridge gave Cho the truth serum to find out about the room of requirement. But at first everyone just thinks she snitched, so by the time Harry found out the truth, they already had their falling out. In the books however, Cho’s friend (Miranda?) snitches and Cho defends her friend and her and Harry get into an argument and that’s how things end.
To add to this comment: One of the storylines in the book was apparition lessons. Ron and Hermione took their tests at the end of this book, as they were both 17 by then. Ron failed his, though, as he left half an eyebrow behind at the starting point.
Fun fact Voldemort tasked Draco to kill dumbledore because his father failed to get the prophecy in the last film. Voldemorts sick way of punishing Lucious
It isn't made very clear in the movies, but in the books it is explained that the reason that Voldemort went to the Potters to kill him was because of the prophecy that Snape overheard Professor Trelawney make to Dumbledore. It was the prophecy that Harry heard at the end of the last movie, the one that Voldemort manipulated him to the Ministry to retrieve.
The Zombies from the Lake are called Inferi, those are basically dead , evil spirited Bodies. And... The Guy on the Posters btw , his name is Fenrir Greyback, he's a werewolf who even bites people out of joy without transforming. Even without full moon. He bit Remus as well.
When you read the books you gonna have to do a reaction series to it as well. I reread them recently and Even though I already knew what was going to happen it still had me in my feels.
1* The two last movies are two of the best in the series, almost as good as Prisoner of Azkaban to me ! 2* Not to sound weird but you're a very handsome man
Love the reactions bro! Would like to see more war movies. Hacksaw Ridge(WW2), Midway(WW2), The Patriot(Revolutionary War), All quiet on the western front(WW1) are some of my favorites if you haven’t seen them yet.
I recall reading that Rowling was ugly crying the day when "she" had killed Dumbledore. Her husband came running thinking something really bad had happened IRL. She said she knew how much she would miss writing dialog for him. Almost like if a real person had died.
Hang in there. Trust us, it is worth the sadness to see how this all plays out. There are some great plot twists! Please don't give up on the series. You have been one of my favorite reactors to watch. Book 8 was divided into two parts. There is so much from the books that was left out of the movies, lots of important details and even some chang to the characters.
Movie didn't show many important characters like Merope Gaunt(Mother of Voldemort) & her family. Hepzibah Smith and her elf. It also didn't explain why there is a new DADA professor at Hogwarts every year. Actually Voldemort wanted to become DADA professor as it would have been easier for him to recruit death eater at Hogwarts, but he was 1st rejected due to young age, and was told to apply after few years. He applied again after 10 years, then Dumbledore rejected his application. In anger he cursed the position as this position will always be vacant on every new term.
I hate watching this one cause of the ending, but the way you had me BUSTING out laughing!!! I'm trying to recover but your reactions brought LEGIT tears to my face! 🤣🤣 And then when I saw your reaction to Dumbledore's death, I used laughter as a defense mechanism so I don't bust out crying with you. Granted, he was about 115 years old I think, but regardless, he shouldn't have died that way. In fact, at all. 🥺🥺😭😭
👉 Now I can finally tell you why no one can stay working as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for more than a year. In The Half Blood Prince book one of many memories that Dumbledore shows Harry was the day Tom Riddle tried to apply for the teaching position of Defense Against the Dark Arts. But when he went to his job interview at Hogwarts Dumbledore was already the Headmaster by this point and Dumbledore denied Tom Riddle the teaching position. So Voldemort cursed the job so that no one will ever be able to hold the job for more than a year. 🏰🪄💀
I think Cho had graduated at the end of last year, or she finished the last required year at Hogwarts which is why she isn’t in this movie. If I recall, she was a year older than Harry. And at Hogwarts you’re only required to complete 6 years, so the last film was her last required year.
28:36 "What is he, he looks like an animal or something." You're not far off, that is Fenrir Greyback, the most savage werewolf ever to live. Unlike most werewolves, he's thoroughly embraced the beast within, he kills for sport, he deliberately positions himself near people so when the moon rises, he's in the right position to strike. He especially loves biting children so they'll grow up to hate normal witches and wizards. Greyback is the very werewolf who bit Lupin when he was a boy. Voldemort has threatened to unleash Greyback on the sons and daughters of those who refuse to join him, which has been quite an effective tactic to gain followers.
The film doesnt do as well as the book, but you not clocking Harry is crushing on Ginny has me giggling 😂 your reactions are top tier "Severus, please." Always gets me cause Dumbledore is dying anyway and knows this will not only save Draco & Harry but everyone in the long run.
I am NOT okay..
Do better
And that’s alright. We understand. 😢
I promise that finishing the story will bring closure 🫂
We've all been there, my friend. **hugs**

Hermione was very good at following instructions so her skills in potions went down with the quality of the instructions.

Snape put it on the board BECAUSE he knew his way was far superior to the books.
Voldemort was furious after losing the prophecy and blamed Lucius for the failure since he was in charge. Draco wasn't given a mission, it was a death sentence, he was supposed to be killed in the process as punishment for his father's failure. It would've torn Lucius apart knowing he was the cause of his son's death and Narcissa would have gone mad.

This is Draco's film. He goes through a redemption arc that is truly breathtaking.
He starts off in a rage, his world turned upside down and blaming Dumbledore and especially Harry for his father being thrown in Azkaban and his family losing all social and political position due to scandal.
Voldemort recruits Draco, makes him a Death Eater, and gives him a couple of terrible tasks meant to either cause the Wizarding World to kill him (if he succeeds) or (if he fails) to give Voldemort the excuse to kill Draco, inflicting retribution on Lucius.
Why the Potters?
Simple.
Harry's the one that is destined to stop Voldemort.
Harry's parents just got in his way.
And Dumbledore has been making preparations since Harry's parents died to do what is necessary to stop Voldemort. This has been a long piece of spellcraft meant to save the world. He has been monitoring and sorting out the info to put things into the best position to succeed at stopping Voldemort. It's a thankless job, but someone has to step up and get it done; Dumbledore does that.
The shop that's destroyed in Diagon Alley is Ollivander's Wand shop, and the hooded figure they grab and take with them is Ollivander himself.
Voldemort has moved HQ from the old Riddle mansion to Malfoy Manor; he is FURIOUS with Lucius's screwups and has taken over his ancestral home to use as his new base of operations. Lucius is currently in Azkaban, so Voldemort is unable to hurt him currently, so he's now living in the Malfoy home and setting up Draco to corrupt him and give him an excuse to kill him.

Yes; the Weasley Twins were apparating in and disapparating from places, because as adults they now could.
What dripped on Harry's forehead is a plant resin (found in our real world) called 'dragon's blood'. In liquid form, it does look like blood, but it can be identified by taste. It's safe to consume and was used for centuries to preserve wine on ocean voyages and shipping around the Mediterranean. Its magical uses in incense and potions are to boost the magical properties of the mixtures and/or to provide luck and/or protection.
The Chocolate Frog trading cards do mention that Dumbledore discovered all 12 magical uses of dragon's blood.
Draco (Tom Felton) is only 5'--9"
Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is 5'-5"
Draco was a prick the last 6 years because he was under his father' influence. Worse yet, Lucius's disdain for others included Draco, who could never seem to please or satisfy Lucius. Draci idolized his distanced father, becoming his mini-me to get his approval. But Draco has been isolated all year because of the nefarious tasks Voldemort gave him. Draco had no one to advise or guide him. He couldn't go to the faculty, nor trust his friends. He just had to sort this out for himself. And he found himself hurting and almost killing innocent people, folks he knew. He's deep in regret and guilt and he's lost.
Draco in white shirtsleeves is the most white I've ever seen on him; there's a metaphor there about how he could take off the darkness and find light underneath. This 'evil' his father flounces around as power is costuming for Draco in his attempt to please his father; Draco is at heart better than that, and he's coming to that realization.
Harry is usually so insightful and perceptive; he sees more in the environments he enters than others do. His focus on punishing Draco is so unlike him. I always wonder what would have happened if Harry had responded to Draco crying by the sink, if he had asked Draco why he was crying.
If Snape had not followed the two into the bathroom, Draco would have died. He would have bled to death.

1 murder = 2 pieces of soul.
1 piece is retained in the original body (to remain alive in corporeal form)
1 piece is put into an object to make a horcrux.
2 murders = 3 pieces; retain 1, make 2 horcruxes.
6 murders = 7 pieces, retain 1, make 6 horcruxes.
Tom made 6 horcruxes.

Darling lad. That's a proper Mum hug. I'm 70 and all my boys get the same hug and holding the face. I need to have a good look at them. So I can see in their eyes what's happening. LOL ... Newish subscriber here. Love your reactions, it's almost like having my boys home again .
Sirius had 3 female *cousins* who's maiden names were Black. They were sisters. Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix LeStrange and Andromeda Tonks. Andromeda was cast out of the family for marrying a muggleborn wizard. Draco and Nymphadora Tonks are 1st cousins.
Bellatrix not only killed her cousin Sirius at the Ministry fight. She tried to kill her niece "Tonks"as well.
We got a lot more memories about Voldemort in the book. I wish they hadn't cut them out of the movie.
24:48 Believe it or Not Ginny is better in the books than the movie
Yeah, the Harry/Ginny relationship has a better buildup in the books, too.
Bonnie Wright was really disappointed, she was expecting to play this sporty, fun, kind, cool girl
but in the script she's mostly timid and awkward. I say mostly. She has okay moments but she never gets to glow, not to mention shine.
@@flugsven Ya the movies really fucked up their portrayal of Ginny and I don't blame Bonnie for being disappointed. So much potential for a character wasted.
Oh yeah, book Ginny could absolutely wipe the floor with Hermione. She was POWERFUL. I mean they were best friends and would never fight, but Hermione knows if they ever did she'd absolutely get wrecked by Ginny. Even the fearless twins were terrified of Ginny lol.
Why Harry isn’t explained in the films. The prophecy in OotP should have explained - it said that the one with the power to defeat him would be born at the end of July to parents who have thwarted him three times and Voldemort will mark him as his equal and neither can live while the other survives.
It is explained then that Lily and James had thwarted him as members of the order three times. HOWEVER, so had Neville’s parents and he was also born at the end of July. So Neville could have been the chosen one…
But, Voldemort saw the similarities in Harry as a half-blood rather than thinking that it would be a pure-blood like Neville (even though his beliefs and that of his followers think pure bloods are more powerful)…so Voldemort, by attacking Harry and Lily putting herself between them, saved Harry, but the result of the curse that should have killed Harry “marked him”…so Voldemort made Harry the chosen one, not Neville…
Hope that explains! 🙂
This is the movie where things get knocked into 12th gear man, absolute quality
I feel like every one since Prisoner of Azkaban has introduced a different level and kicked things up into another gear
That date in the beginning with the muggle girl at the underground diner didn’t exist in the books. Harry definitely wasn’t randomly walking around London. He was picked up by Dumbledore from the Dursleys and the whole scene was chaotic with the Dursleys very afraid of Dumbledore.
And Dumbledore called them out on all of their bullshit too, was epic in the books.
To add to this: On the contrary, rather than being active and wandering around, Harry spent most of his two weeks at the Dursley's in his room, in a numb and near-catatonic state, refusing most food.
We actually love it when fresh Potterheads get affected by these scenes and storyline. Love your reactions man! Keep it up. You need to see this through..
This was probably the best reaction I've ever seen for this film, from beginning to end. Hope you feel better soon.
He’s amazing and hilarious!!
19:13 Ron and Ginny's Quidditch Career actually started in the 5th Book, Both won the Quidditch cup for Gryffindor the same year, Ron was still Keeper and Ginny played as a back up Seeker and Chaser. She caught the snitch and won each game she played Seeker but Quidditch was cut for the Order of Phoenix movie.
As for your starting question: Voldemort was never after James and Lily. His target was Harry, based on the prophecy they obtained in the last film that basically said "a boy born at the end of July is going to be your downfall, because he has something you don't, and one of you has to take the other out." Based on that, he went after Harry to murder his prophesied advesary as a baby. It's all explained in OotP, but it's kind of squashed between action scenes and losing Sirius, so you're not the only reactor who gets a bit muddled on that.
Came to the comments to say this 👍
Watching your mind work was a pleasure!
Really enjoyed your reaction👍! Sorry for all the pain… The last two films are excellent, you have to watch them! It ain’t over till it’s over…. Rollus tapus👍🌷🧙🏾♂️!!!
Everyone feels like this, after this episode. You DO want to watch the rest... everyone here did, and we all come back for good reason.
RIP Dumbledore.
This is my favorite movie of the series ❤ it's so different from the rest. The green hues throughout, overall ominous tone, but also some of the best laughs of the series too. I love storytelling and emotion over action, so this one is perfect to me.
Wands up.🪄
On September 27th, 2024, our beloved professor in film and in real life has passed through the veil. She will be sorely missed and forever remembered.
Thank you, Dame Maggie Smith, for all the decades you have blessed us by taking us on a fantastic magical ride called the cinema.
My sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and to all who knew her and loved her well.
🖤🕯🖤
And on the same date, a year prior “Professor Dumbledore, Sir Michael Gambon passed too.
You're correct about Fred and George's apparitions in previous movies. In order to apparate, you must be of age (17), and you must first pass a very stringent test or you risk being splinched, leaving parts of yourself behind.
Hagrid uses an umbrella because he's not allowed to use a wand (Wizards hate non human people, Hagrid is a half giant and got expelled from hogwarts) it's totally bullshit especially since Hagrid got vindication after the second movie
Not all wizards just some. Plus the pieces of Hagrid's wand are in that umbrella.
@toodlescae Giants are severally looked down upon amongst all Wizardkind probably 99% they are seen as dangerous and unpredictable.
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1po yeah it's a systemic issue
When he was expelled, they snapped his wand in half, he hid the two pieces in that umbrella
Not relevant but cool for the next film, Luna and Draco are also first cousins. Her father was expelled from the Malfoy family for his open beliefs and hippie style. Technically, she is still from a pure blood family, but they're open-minded, like the Weasleys.❤
"Fuck sake, potter!" 😂😂 I love your reactions and seeing you figure things out.
you should drink some water and eat a good warm meal and prepare for the final two films. do the same when you read the books. i wish the movies played up to how horrible fenrir greyback is because he is LITERALLY terrifying. bring some comfort food, tea, tissues, and a warm throw or blanket for the final two as well.
This one isn’t bad but I REALLY WISH they would’ve followed the book better!
My biggest issue with the movie was how they cut out so much due to time constraints (understandable, since you can't put the entire book into a 1.5 hour film), but then added the burning of the burrow, an entire scene that wasn't in the book. Which means they had to cut even more to fit that in.
@@marshallpeters7174 Exactly. Not having enough time is understandable but not adding unnecessary things and changing stuff.
*Professor Dumbledore's death was one of the most traumatic for Harry to witness. Right alongside his parents' murder at the hands of Voldemort when he was 15 months old, Cedric Diggory at the ratty (pun fully intended) hands of Wormtail during the last task of the Triwizard Tournament in that graveyard, and Sirius dying at the hands of his psychotic cousin Bellatrix Lestrange before he disappeared into the Veil in the Ministry Of Magic. Also, this is one of the few times Ron is shown to be intelligent in the movies. The scene on the Hogwarts Express where he's explaining the Unbreakable Vow to Harry, specifically. The wizard's chess scenes from Philosopher's Stone is another. I think another good example is the good questions he was asking in Chamber Of Secrets when Harry found that crumpled up book page in Hermione's hand.*
The Harry-Ginny storyline is much better in the books (no "shoelace" for one)!
Harry got his share of awkwardness though when he went on that date with Cho which was cut from the movie (the second-hand embarrassment may kill you 🫣)
I hate that bs at the Burrow. Not only the Ministry but the Order had layers and layers of protective spells on the Weasley home while Harry was there. No one was even able to be just popping in to say hello without an escort let alone destroy the place.
Yeah no shoelace and no random girl at the beginning. It’s like he was into a random chic at the station, goes to burrow, sees Ginny and suddenly has feelings for her. Makes his feelings seem abrupt and invalid because we just liked another girl hours before 😪
The reason Professor Snape called himself The Half Blood Prince is because his mother, who was a witch, had the maiden name of "Prince". He loved his mother and was proud of her. But his muggle father was very abusive. Snape hated his father so much that he liked referring to himself as the Half Blood Prince rather than the name of his father's last name of "Snape" during his years as a student in Hogwarts.
The ironic thing about Harry is that he always had a hard time learning potions from Professor Snape. But the moment Harry found Snape's old textbook with all of Snape's handwritten notes and didn't realize that it had belonged to Snape, Harry suddenly began to excel in potions.
📖⚗️🧪🪄
Also, IIRC, the Prince family is a very old, well-known wizarding family, and Snape kind of resented the fact that he didn't get that family name.
The main reason Harry had such a hard time under Snape's teaching was that Snape was so hard on him. If Snape had treated him as a normal student, he would have done much better. Harry's DADA grades suffered in this book with Snape teaching that class.
@marshallpeters7174. I’ve read the books several times over the years & I don’t remember anything about Harry’s DADA grades suffering with Snape teaching the class. Would you please tell me the chapter or chapters where this is mentioned?
Yeh I assume I'll always remember the feeling of reading this book when it came out. When you're watching it you can just zone out and let it wash over you, stewing in your feelings. When you're reading the book you stop when you see it, so you're just left in a void in your room not knowing anything else, and after a minute or two you have to force yourself to keep reading. The movie it just happens past you and you're already somewhere else. When you're reading it you have to actively be in the moment and do the act of dragging your eyes across it. It always sticks out in my memory, the feeling of having to force my eyes across more of that text. If you stop paying attention to the movie it keeps happening and you can like hear it from a mile away and process it in your own time; if you stop reading the book you're just stuck in that eternal moment until you submit yourself to more of it to finish the story. It was a real exercise in will power in my youth, to finish reading that book
There was a glimpse of a real life hero in this movie. Rob Knox, the actor who played Marcus Belby, the kid digging enthusiastically into his dessert at Slughorn’s supper party, was kiIIed while protecting his younger brother from a man with a knife. It happened outside a London pub in 2008 shortly after he filmed his scene.
Ahhhhh this made my evening 😍 Thanks for your amazing reactions!!! The best on this app!
Imagine going to the midnight release of the book, and someone drove by the line waiting and screamed: "DUMBLEDORE DIES AT THE END"
I knew it was coming and still cried reading and watching it
I know this is going to be gooooood. Feel for you tho, been there
Okay so you asked why Harry? That whole prophecy in the last film was why - in the books it’s explained so I’ll try to clarify a bit. The entirety of the prophecy is as follows: “the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.. born to those who have thrice defied him.. born as the 7th month dies.. and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal but will have power the Dark Lord knows not.. and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.”
When Dumbledore explains this to Harry, he explains also that HE is the one who the prophecy was spoken to, and it was done by Professor Trelawney during her job interview, when a death eater spy was caught having only listened to the first half of the prophecy. He gave Voldemort the incomplete prophecy, and Voldemort chose Harry to be the one, when it could have actually been Neville as well. He chose the half blood like him, rather than the pure blood 👀
23:04
I chucked hearing you say, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” because you’ve been making a list of characters to take out… Lucius Malfoy, Delores Umbridge, etc…and it made me think of Arya.
This book & movie wrecked me. Also in the books Ginny is super badass & outgoing & the most popular girl at school & so that doesn’t really translate well on screen with this actress & idk if it’s because of how they wrote her or if she’s just a bad actress or what lmao but seriously Snape’s betrayal killed us all. Please please please watch the rest of the movies I promise you it’s worth it!! & with the unbreakable vow you automatically die if you break the promise. Voldemort asked Draco to kill Dumbledore as a punishment to Lucius & the Malfoy family for their failures of dropping the prophecy in the 5th one & because he knew Draco wouldn’t be able to do it & if he did do it, it would scar him for life & therefore would be heartbreaking for his parents to know their son lost his innocence so it’s an impossible situation either Draco dies or becomes a murderer which is why Draco’s mum went to Snape to ask for help. Also your observations of Slughorn were spot on I haven’t heard a reactor mention that at all about Slughorn the first time they watch the doctored memory he is very vain & even though he’s not an evil wizard he likes to be seen & associated with people of status & is easily subjected to flattery which is how Tom was able to worm his way into gaining his trust to disclose the Horcrux info.
Hated book Ginny she was so itchy with a B
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1po oh interesting! Why do you think that? I didn’t get that vibe from her at all cuz she stood up for Luna when ppl would bully her & wouldn’t let anyone push her around like Ron tried to without her having a go at him lol but I’m curious why you think that?
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1podo you mean Cho? Haha Cho would just cry on their dates, only talk about Cedric and then get extremely overly jealous of Hermione when he clearly told her they’re friends. And she got defensive and argued with Harry when her friend was the one who purposely snitched on the DA. They made movie Cho look good and movie Ginny look crap when it should be the other way around lol
I really waiting for next part. We all cry for dombeldor man. Your not alone❤
Lupin changes every time there is a full moon
If you split your soul in 7 then there are 6 horcruxes plus the piece retained in Voldemort's body. In the books Harry slowly becomes attracted to Ginny throughout the years whereas in this film it comes out of nowhere. Also remember that Emma Watson is really too beautiful to play Hermione and the screen writer was trying to make it that Harry and Hermione were a good fit. Although this was JKR's original intention, she changed it and you nailed it as 'Ginny: the triple threat!'
There's 7 horcruxes in total though
@@biancaeze14 you’ve ruined it. We aren’t meant to know that until the next movie.
@@angelalopez5942 how did I ruin it when Tom literally said it in this movie? lol he asked the professor if you could split your soul into 7 pieces/horcruxes
@@biancaeze14But he himself is one piece too!! So 6 horcruxes + he himself = 7 pieces!
@@ВиталийГетманов-с6с A horcrux can only be made from a murder, in which he would have to kill someone to get a horcrux. If you include him, that means he killed himself to make a horcrux, which wouldn't make sense
Well I'll be procrastinating work for the next hour😂
everyone is in shock when this book / movie come out. however, do not lost hope. keep watching & you will be in a pleasant surprise but be prepared for bucket of tears
Fenrir is the werewolf that bit lupin as a child. He targeted lupin because of his father's very public opinion about werewolves.
The extended version of the 'In Noctem' music sequence is so beautiful, i wish they had kept the full scene in the theatrical cut.
"Harry, get the old man his wand for fucksake" had me 😅
Professor grandma Mcgonnagal is literally everything.
Your feelings are pretty universal. It’s very worth finishing the series, I promise!
Bro I was kinda stressed just now and wanted to listen to a YT vid while I get stuff done. Then I see u posted this today. … havnt even started the video and I feel better. Your reactions are so great
It's up to you if you wanna watch anymore, of course, but remember;
it's a fairytale, and whether they end sad or on a happy note, they are most often beautiful, and that's what makes it worthwhile. We need art and beauty in our lives.
But maybe really check out something cheerful next? In between?
(Or at least something uplifting?) Maybe a Mel Brooks movie? Or the Naked Gun movies? Or a Peter Sellers comedy? A shot in the dark? The return of the Pink Panther? The revenge of the Pink Panther?
Maybe the Back to the future movies?
All classics that keeps you giggling.
My day is made. THANK YOUUUUU🥺😭🫶🏽
I´m from Canary Islands (Spain), and it´s always funny to hear Mr Slughorn talking about the muggles who went here.
You're the first one i see who notice all the thing someone wouldn't notice! Much love❤
The creepy guy that attacks the Weasley's with Bellatrix is Ferir Greyback. He is a werewolf that fully embraces that vicious side of him. He attacked Lupin as a kid and turned him into a werewolf as revenge because he didn't like some things Lupin's dad said about werewolves in the newspaper.
In the movie, Unbridge gave Cho the truth serum to find out about the room of requirement. But at first everyone just thinks she snitched, so by the time Harry found out the truth, they already had their falling out. In the books however, Cho’s friend (Miranda?) snitches and Cho defends her friend and her and Harry get into an argument and that’s how things end.
bro since Lotr ur my fav reaction channel. Im so happy u here... much love
Wizards take an apparation test at 17 which is to disaparate at one location and arrive in another. Its basically their version of a driving test. 😂
To add to this comment: One of the storylines in the book was apparition lessons. Ron and Hermione took their tests at the end of this book, as they were both 17 by then. Ron failed his, though, as he left half an eyebrow behind at the starting point.
Fun fact Voldemort tasked Draco to kill dumbledore because his father failed to get the prophecy in the last film. Voldemorts sick way of punishing Lucious
It isn't made very clear in the movies, but in the books it is explained that the reason that Voldemort went to the Potters to kill him was because of the prophecy that Snape overheard Professor Trelawney make to Dumbledore. It was the prophecy that Harry heard at the end of the last movie, the one that Voldemort manipulated him to the Ministry to retrieve.
The Zombies from the Lake are called Inferi, those are basically dead , evil spirited Bodies.
And...
The Guy on the Posters btw , his name is Fenrir Greyback, he's a werewolf who even bites people out of joy without transforming.
Even without full moon.
He bit Remus as well.
When you read the books you gonna have to do a reaction series to it as well. I reread them recently and Even though I already knew what was going to happen it still had me in my feels.
👏 👏 Amazing reaction I loved it. This film is my favorite out all of them. Can't wait for the next one
8:00 “Wait is ridiculous a spell”
naww who got this first year watching a sixth year film 😭
“Riddikulus” is the spell Lupin teaches them to deal with the boggarts in the 3rd movie, I think that’s what he remembered
@@luisacosta2028 that's the joke!
1* The two last movies are two of the best in the series, almost as good as Prisoner of Azkaban to me !
2* Not to sound weird but you're a very handsome man
11:03 If you read the books, trust me you wouldn’t be saying this, movies don’t do Ron justice
I enjoyed your reaction soo much❤
seeing his reaction to the climax to this film has me excited to see his reaction to the final film
3:23 it’s hilarious to me that pretty much the next time we see this woman is as Autumn Night at the Pynk (P Valley).
There’s so much insider information you’re supposed to know from the book - anyone would be lost if they didn’t read it.
That's essence of Voldy in the basin, that they had to drink.
Awesome reaction as always bro.......just a shame we have to wait so long between movies 😳 👊🇬🇧
Love the reactions bro! Would like to see more war movies. Hacksaw Ridge(WW2), Midway(WW2), The Patriot(Revolutionary War), All quiet on the western front(WW1) are some of my favorites if you haven’t seen them yet.
Almost forgot “Fury” WW2 tank movie, lots of familiar actors and a sick movie
❤❤ always love your reactions- good eye for detail and always the appropriate emotional Response 😊
“My brain itches.” I GET you my guy. So true
I recall reading that Rowling was ugly crying the day when "she" had killed Dumbledore. Her husband came running thinking something really bad had happened IRL. She said she knew how much she would miss writing dialog for him.
Almost like if a real person had died.
i love your reactions to the serious parts but i especially love your reactions to the silly/awkward parts😂 incredible
@Kay-Pee you're a good soul..RIP Professor D..but stay the course..all will be revealed..Team Snape from a Ravenclaw...
The undead are called Inferi, a dead body bewitched to do a dark wizard’s bidding.
"I thought you couldn't apparate on school grounds..?"
"Harry......... I'm fuccing Dumbledore"
Hang in there. Trust us, it is worth the sadness to see how this all plays out. There are some great plot twists! Please don't give up on the series. You have been one of my favorite reactors to watch. Book 8 was divided into two parts. There is so much from the books that was left out of the movies, lots of important details and even some chang to the characters.
The Half Baked Prince
Snape's mother was Eileen Prince who was a witch, father was the muggle Tobias Snape hence the name "Half Blood Prince"
WANDS OUT! Hahaha that got me, you’re awesome man 😂
Last 2 films border on the psychological thriller genre. Get ready!
You're amazing. Thank you
i enjoyed watching your vid
keep going
i just wish your vids are more longer and less cuts
Movie didn't show many important characters like Merope Gaunt(Mother of Voldemort) & her family. Hepzibah Smith and her elf. It also didn't explain why there is a new DADA professor at Hogwarts every year.
Actually Voldemort wanted to become DADA professor as it would have been easier for him to recruit death eater at Hogwarts, but he was 1st rejected due to young age, and was told to apply after few years.
He applied again after 10 years, then Dumbledore rejected his application. In anger he cursed the position as this position will always be vacant on every new term.
I love your attitude with the wand!!!
I hate watching this one cause of the ending, but the way you had me BUSTING out laughing!!! I'm trying to recover but your reactions brought LEGIT tears to my face! 🤣🤣 And then when I saw your reaction to Dumbledore's death, I used laughter as a defense mechanism so I don't bust out crying with you. Granted, he was about 115 years old I think, but regardless, he shouldn't have died that way. In fact, at all. 🥺🥺😭😭
Well there's a reason why people say the story gets much darker and more adult... last 2 are still well worth it though.
3:00 millennium bridge, getting destroyed 3 years before it existed 👌🤷♂
Sectumsempra eventually slashes someone with an invisible sword that attacks them how you swish your wand.
I thought it created thousands of cuts on the body making them bleed out and eventually die from loss of blood?
👉 Now I can finally tell you why no one can stay working as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for more than a year.
In The Half Blood Prince book one of many memories that Dumbledore shows Harry was the day Tom Riddle tried to apply for the teaching position of Defense Against the Dark Arts. But when he went to his job interview at Hogwarts Dumbledore was already the Headmaster by this point and Dumbledore denied Tom Riddle the teaching position. So Voldemort cursed the job so that no one will ever be able to hold the job for more than a year.
🏰🪄💀
I think Cho had graduated at the end of last year, or she finished the last required year at Hogwarts which is why she isn’t in this movie.
If I recall, she was a year older than Harry. And at Hogwarts you’re only required to complete 6 years, so the last film was her last required year.
the books actually spent some time on the mystery who the half blood prince is
15:24 is my fav part. lol
28:36 "What is he, he looks like an animal or something."
You're not far off, that is Fenrir Greyback, the most savage werewolf ever to live. Unlike most werewolves, he's thoroughly embraced the beast within, he kills for sport, he deliberately positions himself near people so when the moon rises, he's in the right position to strike. He especially loves biting children so they'll grow up to hate normal witches and wizards. Greyback is the very werewolf who bit Lupin when he was a boy. Voldemort has threatened to unleash Greyback on the sons and daughters of those who refuse to join him, which has been quite an effective tactic to gain followers.
I love how you think through things hahah
The film doesnt do as well as the book, but you not clocking Harry is crushing on Ginny has me giggling 😂 your reactions are top tier
"Severus, please." Always gets me cause Dumbledore is dying anyway and knows this will not only save Draco & Harry but everyone in the long run.
